A good intro passing drill to get kids thinking about moving off ball
Set Up
Create a box using cones, about 5×5 or 10×10 and put 3 players around. Players must pass the ball to a teammate at an adjacent cone, and if a player is not there, the diagonal teammate must move to that adjacent cone. We are getting players to thinking about moving without the ball to shorten passes.
* start by telling them to pass the ball in same direction for 1 minute, so they are always moving. Then you can say, anywhere is open.
Coaching Points & Principles
- Passing and Catching – Reinforce setting feet and passing overhand, throw at teammates head
- Moving of ball – reinforce moving to open space, no standing still off ball
Progressions
- Add in 1 defender making it 3v1
